DECCA DISCOGRAPHY
»1 GREAT BRITAIN: 78rpm, 1929-51
In a business where exclusive contracts were the norm, it was very difficult for a
newcomer to become established and Decca’s initial roster of classical artists
was unable to compete with established rivals. In March 1932 an agreement
with Polydor provided access to a substantial catalogue of German artists and a
year later the company virtually abandoned classical recording to concentrate on
dance bands. The move to Thames Street Studios provided more scope for
orchestral sessions and a bold policy of recording contemporary British music
enhanced the label’s reputation. The newly formed Boyd Neel Orchestra was
signed up in 1934, followed by the Griller String Quartet in 1935, Clifford
Curzon in 1937, Peter Pears in 1944, Kathleen Ferrier in 1946 and Julius
Katchen in 1947.
War broke the link with Polydor, leaving Decca with a respectable catalogue of
chamber music, but little symphonic repertoire. Armed with ffrr technology, the
company began to remedy this in 1944, engaging Sidney Beer’s National
Symphony Orchestra until 1947 and the misleadingly named New Symphony
Orchestra (it had made its first recordings in 1909) from 1948. Neither
developed into a house band to rival EMI’s Philharmonia and, with the Royal
Philharmonic also exclusive to EMI, Decca had to resort to the LSO and the
LPO, both in rather run-down condition in the post-war years. Meanwhile every
opportunity was taken to impress visiting continental orchestras with ffrr
sessions and it was evident that the company intended to transfer much of its
symphonic work to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Vienna as soon as
practicable. London was left with cycles of Vaughan Williams and Sibelius
symphonies in the early 1950s.

These were evidently interchangeable titles for an ad hoc ensemble - which
sometimes included Arthur Gleghorn and Reginald Kell among its woodwind
principals - recording light music from 1947-50. Subsequently the variants
Kingsway Promenade Orchestra and London Promenade Orchestra (in 1953-
54) and London Proms Symphony Orchestra (in 1958-59) were adopted.
